BEDFORD, N.H. (AP) — Likely Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley says it's "shameful" for Republicans to support an Indiana law that critics see as legalizing discrimination against gays and lesbians.

ATLANTA (AP) — In the political uproar over Common Core, various myths are peddled as fact.
